I've started to structure the above a bit, but then, through a <a
href="https://confluence.atlassian.com/dosearchsite.action?searchQuery.queryString=ancestorIds%3A221448814+AND+queue&searchQuery.spaceKey=BITBUCKET">search
in the bitbucket documentation for "queue"</a>, I've found these
blog posts:<br>

Git User’s Guide to Mercurial Queues<br>

<p>Haven't yet read the latter two, but the first one looks very
useful and gives quite some insight, so I wonder whether we should
just redirect people there, rather than rolling our own
documentation on this somewhat complex and arguably tangential
topic. Note that that first blog post states that <a
href="http://stevelosh.com/blog/2010/08/a-git-users-guide-to-mercurial-queues/#versioned-patch-queues">versioned
patch queues</a>, while a mighty concept, are a feature you'll
probably neither need to use nor want to use in most cases.
Though, bitbucket's support for MQ seems to be just about them.
Why that? Probably because regular (unversioned) queues are a
local-only affair, so your remote repositories, whether on
bitbucket or elsewhere, don't have to bother about them at all.<br>
</p>
<p>So in order not to misguide others into using a feature they
won't need, I propose rather than refining our own instructions,
to replace them with references to external documentation about
the topic. Of course, if there's something Kokua specific or
Second Life Viewer specific to add, that'd belong on our own
wiki(s), but I don't currently see anything like that.<br>
